Hayes (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes tore his ACL on Sunday against the Raiders, effectively ending his season. The 33-year-old had accumulated two sacks on the year and was proving to be an important part of Miami's defense. Charles Harris is expected to replace Hayes on the defensive line.

Hayes tore his ACL Sunday and is done for the season, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes' injury is unfortunate, as he had posted two sacks in as many weeks and looked to be putting together a promising season. He'll figure to move to injured reserve in the near future. Look for Charles Harris to see some extra reps as a primary backup at defensive end now that Hayes is out.

Hayes (finger) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes shared snaps in Week 1 against the Titans, logging 32 while starter Cameron Wake played 38. Still, Hayes didn't make a tackle, so his IDP value is negligible at this time.

Hayes is considered questionable against the Jets on Sunday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes was a full participant in practice to begin the week, but sat out Friday due to a finger injury. It remains to be seen whether the veteran defensive end will suit up against the Jets on Sunday, but if Hayes misses any time it could signify rotational snaps for Andre Branch.

Hayes (hamstring) participated in practice Thursday and appears healthy, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes missed a month of practice due to a lingering hamstring injury, but appears on track to suit up for Sunday's season-opener against the Titans. As long as Hayes is healthy enough to play, the veteran defensive end should play a key rotational role in Miami's front seven this season.

Hayes (hamstring) returned to the practice field Wednesday for the first time in over a month, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that he's missed a month of preparation, it wouldn't be surprising if Hayes is eased back into action initially. The veteran defensive end figures to rotate in on the Dolphins' defensive line again this season when he's healthy enough to play, which could come as soon as Week 1.

Hayes (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Ravens, Alain Poupart of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes missed the Dolphins' first two preseason games due to his hamstring injury but he was seen running at practice Thursday and is reportedly eager to get back on the field. His status bodes positively for his ability to play full-speed come Week 1, but the team may sideline him for another preseason game just to be safe.

Hayes missed Friday's practice with a hamstring injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes exited Thursday's practice favoring his right leg. The severity of his injury isn't clear, so it's hard to tell when he might be back on the field. When healthy, the eleven-year veteran will will compete for slotting on the depth chart under Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn.
